i'm really a fan of healthy debates stand your ground until experiments and further data prove our stand wrong or triumphantly correct! and science it is! i just hope debates in science would be more frequent and glaring on socmed flatforms especially these gloomy days when pandemic, ukraine war, high gas prices and worldwide inflation seem to dominate the moods of the world i kind of remember Karl Schwarzschild's point in his remarks that solving Einstein's field equations gave him an escape from the sadness of war while he was in the frontlines being a military officer in his time (i'd try to be always updated with this)
